About the author.

WHO IS THIS GUY?

Josh Greene is a multi-talented genius and humanitarian who enjoys writing his own bios. After a tour of duty in the trenches of children's theater, his professional career was launched with an appearance on FRASIER, which catapulted him into a guesthouse in the Valley. Shortly thereafter he did some time in the Broadway musical RENT, then returned home to pursue lifelong goals like fame, fortune, and the elimination of world hunger. Josh was the star of Discovery Channel’s RALLY ROUND THE HOUSE, and recently wrapped his 50th episode of TLC’s 10 YEARS YOUNGER. Providing the voice of Jimmy Lizard in the Weinstein Company’s animated hit HOODWINKED, he also penned the song RUNAWAY which was included on the film's award-winning soundtrack. In 2005 Josh wrote/directed/produced THE COMMISSION, a film which walked away with nine nominations and three wins, including "Best Comedy" and "Best Screenplay" at the 168 Hour Film Festival in L.A. Last year he starred with Tenacious D's Kyle Gass in the smash hit musical ROCK OF AGES, and is currently in development on three feature films, a television pilot, and his first solo album. It's looking like world hunger may just have to wait -- Or you could visit ONE.org and help stamp it out yourself!

Review

This is supposed to be one of the great little spiritual leadership tomes of the day… I was less than moved. While the introduction and epilogue are nifty anecdotal bookends, the actual meat (Chapters) of this incredibly brief treatise on Contemplative Prayer and First Love is not exactly the stuff that makes for a page-turner. Yes, it’s well thought out and probably quite useful to a particular demographic; right now though, I guess I’m just not part of said demo. On the other hand, it’s a REALLY quick read with a handful of promising ideas to bounce around yo’ head. Kill it in an afternoon if you’re bored and feeling useless.
